What I've been waiting for

So, interview 2 yesterday.

I really, really want that job.

It's the perfect meshing of my off-time interests and my professional skill set. I'd be working more with the operations side (game developers) than with the finance people. And it could potentially open up all sorts of other doors into the industry.

If they come back with a reasonable offer (i.e., anything more than I'm making now, which, let's face it, wouldn't be too hard), I'm going to accept.

They gently mocked me a little bit for being overdressed. I was in a suit (which I looked rather dashing in, if I do say - don't even try to step when I'm flashing glen plaid, bitches!). I knew that was probably overkill, but I figured why not, you know? Still, I think I managed to sufficiently communicate my geekiness, which I hope will help land me the job. I met with the controller, CFO, and COO, and got to tour the facilities, mainly the ultra-secure underground production area, which was very cool.

The headhunter that sent me on the first interview yesterday wants to send me on another one next week. She said the interview is typically about four hours long, and involves two tests. It's like, hey - knock it off. You're a property management company, not the fucking CIA. If you can't tell that I can do the stupid job from my resume, maybe I don't want to work for you in the first place...

I'm still coughing, dammit. I hope this goes away over the weekend.

Speaking of this weekend, it's going to be movie-tastic (as they so often are). Right now it's looking like I'll be seeing Little Miss Sunshine, Talladega Nights, and (on DVD) Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

And hopefully I'll be able to not worry too much about when I'll hear back.

Oh, and I'm getting a haircut tomorrow. That should be something.
